I googled a little last night, some people we all

There was a LAD message from 2001, someone who had been in contact with
Yamaha and it seemed they(Yamaha) where working towards making mLan a
part of the A&M standard (I think I got that right...not sure)... now...
I'm not entirely sure what this means. It seemed as the A&M standards
also cost a lot of money?
There is a connection mangement mart of mLAN that is/was not included in
the IEEE specs.
The A+M specs are available for free:

Ah, nice. Though I found several other/newer specs at:
http://www.1394ta.org/Technology/Specifications/specifications.htm
as far as I can tell they cost money though... perhaps they don't add anything
of interest.

Do we have enough information to implement mLan
support?
Everything but the connection management. I know thats inportant, but
I dont know how important.
Theres also the issue that some of these firewire ADDA converters might
not use mLAN or A+M. In that case things may even e easier - assuming we
can get specs from the mantufacturer.
As I understand it, Bob Ham had/is working on
implementing 61883 support
for Jack, which seems like it's needed for mLan, a layer below it
perhaps? How far has this come, is there something one can test somehow,
what hardware do one need?
He has partly working non-61883 audio over firewire support. I think its
quite 61883 flavoured though - so if/when its working it should be hard to
make it real 61883.
